EMISSION CONTROL
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL17-12
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION PURGE SOLENOID
An evaporative emission purge solenoid is installed in the
intake manifold.The evaporative emission purge solenoid con
-
trols the intake volume of fuel vapor gas from the canister. The
evaporative emission purge solenoid is a duty control type
solenoid valve. When current is not passing through the coil,
nipple A is kept airtight and fuel vapor gas cannot be sucked in.
When current passes through the coil, air can pass between
nipple A and B and fuel vapor gas is sucked in. ECM changes
the ON duty ratio according to engine's operating condition to
control the intake volume of fuel vapor gas.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
When the combustion gas temperature becomes
high, generation of the environment polluting NOx
(nitrogen oxides) increases rapidly. EGR system is
used to decrease the volume of NOx generated.
EGR system re-circulates exhaust gas inside the
intake manifold. It increases specific heat of the com
-
bustion gases and reduces combustion speed to lower the combustion temperature and reduce the
volume of NOx generated. ECM calculates the EGR
introduction volume according to engine operating
conditions and controls the EGR valve opening angle
at optimum. Also, immediately after the ignition
switch ON signal is input, it drives fully closed step
-
per motor and performs initialization.

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR
A barometric pressure sensor is built into ECM. The barometric
pressure sensor is a semiconductor diffused pressure element
which outputs voltage to ECM according to atmospheric pres
-
sure. ECM uses this output voltage to sense the altitude of the
vehicle and compensates fuel injection volume to achieve the
appropriate air-fuel ratio for that altitude.
.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
The engine oil pressure switch is installed on the left side of the
cylinder block. The engine oil pressure switch detects whether
the oil pressure is high or low using the contact switch. When
the oil pressure becomes higher than the specified value after
the engine starts, the contact point of the engine oil pressure
switch opens. This allows the ECM to detect the oil pressure is
higher than the specified value. The ECM outputs the OFF sig
-
nal to the combination meter through the CAN and then turns
off the oil pressure warning lamp.
